1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
3 Roll out puff pastry slightly and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, lightly score a smaller rectangle inside each piece (do not cut all the way through). Prick throughout the center with a fork.
4 Pipe or spoon the cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry in a thick oval or log shape, staying within the scored area. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
6 For icing whisk powdkered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled Danishes. Serve with strawberry jam on the side or spooned alongside for dipping. Enjoy!
